Someone once asked me if there are songs in my catalog that I don’t play in concert.
That’s a good question. In the early years I played almost every song in my catalog frequently. However as the years went by and the more songs I released the more some of those songs fell by the wayside in performing.
When you write, record and release music, you never know which songs are going to strike a chord with people and which aren’t. So when ‘The Approaching Night’ became my most popular song, I was shocked. I didn’t anticipate that and surprisingly it’s one song that I don’t think I’ve ever performed after recording it. In fact I think I’ve forgotten how to play it. I’d have to sit down and re-learn it.
There are lots of people over the years that now play it better than I ever could including Billie Eilish when she performed a snippet of it during a piano medley at one of her concerts.
